Hi

I can’t tell you the number of devices I have either trialed or used. Pocket talker was pretty much a dismal failure over the years as my hearing got worse. I tried some of the Phonak accessories and they did not help at all….brought in more noise and really worked only well in a quiet one on one setting where I don’t need it. Only occasionally worked and I asked my Audi to let me trial the Roger Pen. I’m lucky that I don’t have to pay anything upfront for trials. I have had conversations with so many people who belong to the local chapter of HHLA and the majority are not impressed with the various devices they have used…a few are…and have abandoned the gadgets. This is not a large group by any means but I rarely see anyone using type of device.

I resort to my phone captioned apps for now and am willing to try just about anything else. I have a neckloop and use it with my tcoils but for a different use.

I’ll let you know about the bone anchored trial which is this Thursday. I should know immediately if there is any chance of improvement for the worse ear. Having tinnitus in that ear doesn’t help and I am happy you found a solution. Still looking…always looking
